You have to run through the installer a second time. During the install the installer will ask you what the name of the instance should be. A reboot will be required after the install, and then another reboot will be required after SP2 is installed.

Your default instance will not be effected except for being unavailable during the reboots.

Hi I am in Guatemala and i have a problem with sqlserver2005, i had a sqlserver2000 whith an instances data base, I upgrade to 2005 and appear the Data Base instance made in 2000 but i want to upgrade it for the 2005 or just delete it. I try with the ARPwrapper.exe command but the instance doesnt exist in the window How can I do?

So each new instance requires a total install with the same SPs and hotfixes as current install? If I need to install SPs or hotfixes later on, does the OS/SQL know to install the updates on all instances? Thank you.

--> Depends usually on how you install the patcheshotfixes. Typically when I have done it using the gui version, it has given me the choice to update all instances or a specific one.
